WORK PHILOSOPHY
Because I find that clients prefer a more in-depth, consultative relationship, I work with a smaller number of clients than many other advisors. I believe in comprehensive wealth planning covering all aspects of a client's financial situation. I also believe that proper planning, time, and risk diversification are the greatest keys to financial success.
PERSONAL
Born in Charleston, West Virginia, I have lived in North Carolina since 1980. I am a graduate of the Mercersburg Academy (PA) and North Carolina State University. I'm the proud father of three children - Liz, Ben, and Sarah.
I enjoy a variety of physical activities including running, biking, and swimming. I feel strongly that my physical fitness is an important part of my overall well being and helps me in all aspects of my life. This has led me to compete in numerous triathlons and distance races in recent years, including Ironman Arizona in 2013. I also enjoy time at the beach, reading, and supporting NC State Wolfpack athletics.
